Israel said denying foreign journalists access to Jerusalem’s Old City
The Foreign Press Association, which represents journalists for foreign outlets in Israel, criticizes what it calls the “deplorable situation in Old City Jerusalem where tourists [are] given access while accredited journalists and photojournalists [are] not.”
In a tweet, and a larger statement, the FPA says Israeli security forces have kept journalists out of the Old City’s clash zones over the weekend.
